"Sputnik V and Sputnik Lite to be sent to Japan

One thousand doses of Russian drugs against coronavirus Sputnik V and Sputnik Light are planned to be sent to the medical institution in Tokyo Hibiya Kokusai Clinic by the end of this year, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade said.

"On December 1, 2021, clinic director Masato Suzuki, M.D., announced the start of preclinical trials of Sputnik V vaccines and its single-component Sputnik Light counterpart, which will be conducted within the walls of the Hibiya Kokusai Clinic on volunteers on a fee-for-service basis. It is expected that 1,000 doses of the vaccine will be delivered to Japan by the end of this year," the report says.

It is specified that a total of 750 doses of Sputnik V and 250 doses of Sputnik Lite will be sent.

The department explained that the tests to be conducted are not positioned as official vaccination, but are aimed at studying the effectiveness of Russian vaccines as a booster for revaccination.

"Based on the results of the trials, experts at the clinic plan to make an assessment of the effectiveness of Russian vaccines based on an increase in antibodies in the blood of Japanese patients," the ministry said.
